Hosea 5:8-15

8BlowH8628 the ram’s hornH7782 in GibeahH1390, the trumpetH2689 in RamahH7414; raise the battle cryH7321 in Beth-avenH1007:1 Lead onH310, O BenjaminH1144!9EphraimH669 will beH1961 laid wasteH8047 on the dayH3117 of rebukeH8433. Among the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 I proclaimH3045 what is certainH539.10The princesH8269 of JudahH3063 are like thoseH1961 who moveH5253 boundary stonesH1366;2 I will pour outH8210 My furyH5678 upon themH5921 like waterH4325.11EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231, crushedH7533 in judgmentH4941, forH3588 he is determinedH2974 to followH1980 H310 worthless idolsH6673.312So I amH589 like a mothH6211 to EphraimH669, and like decayH7538 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.

13When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483and JudahH3063 his woundH4205,then EphraimH669 turnedH1980 toH413 AssyriaH804and sentH7971 toH413 the greatH3377 kingH4428.4But heH1931 cannotH3808 H3201 cureH7495 youor healH1455 your woundH4205.14ForH3588 IH595 am like a lionH7826 to EphraimH669and like a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.IH589, even IH589, will tear them to piecesH2963and then go awayH1980.I will carry them offH5375where no oneH369 can rescue themH5337.15Then I will returnH1980 H7725 toH413 My placeH4725untilH5704 they admit their guiltH816 and seekH1245 My faceH6440;in their afflictionH6862 they will earnestly seek MeH7836.”
